this onshore flow will continue and keep the clouds in place overnight. we're watching radar right now because here's another system that is developing. it is fragmented but it has convection in here. it's just pushing into the d.c. and baltimore area and we'll continue to move west to east. parts of delaware, parts of south jersey, even this pocket of southeastern p.a. could get some isolated shower activity, maybe even some rumbles of thunder through the next couple of hours, through the overnight hours into early tomorrow as that system makes its way even closer. for most of the viewing area, we are dry right now but you can see the specks of green. so very isolated, very isolated sort of scattered shower activity is going to be through the overnight hours and waking up early tomorrow. we're watching yet another low pressure system. it's a very active pattern across the entire united states but we're watching another low developing here in the gulf and that will be running up the cold
11:20 pm
front tomorrow. tomorrow is really going to be a mixed bag. we'll start out drizzling and isolated showers and then peaks of sunshine and rain comes back into the picture. starting at 7:30, we see here this particular model showing us we could start out with shower activity in and around philadelphia, wilmington, dover and cutting over to south jersey. that's why we say to have the umbrellas handy but then drying out for the afternoon. the clouds start to dissipate coming from the south up to the north. not everybody will see sunshine but as the clouds begin to clear south to north, we could get that heating going on with the sunshine. and then futurecast showing us tomorrow night another round of spotty showers and a better shot of convection tomorrow night into tuesday morning with that. so lightning and thunder is a potential as this system comes
11:21 pm
on through. this is 6:30 through tuesday morning, widespread rain for most of the viewing area. that would be tuesday morning and then we look to wednesday to finally dry out. we could bump to 72 degrees for a high temperature tomorrow. you can see the icon giving us the mixed bag. just have the umbrellas handy. it isn't until wednesday that we get out of this active weather pattern and we start to dry out. temperatures in the mid-to upper 60s tomorrow. as i said, we could warm up especially if we get those sustained peeks of sunshine throughout the afternoon. comcast sports net, the phillies were expected to be bottom feeders this season but they are making believers out of so many. and hear from howie himself in this exclusive conversation with john clark.

11:28 pm
more the agent that wants to have the trade go through or sam that is requested the trade? >> i think people see opportunities, you know. and i think prior to the draft, maybe there's some opportunity that you see that may make sense and we understand that this is a business. it's never personal and by the same token, we feel the same way about him. you know, we're not going to hold any of this against him. we move forward and there's great incentive for all of us to go out and play great. >> and i know you haven't had enough. hear much more of the conversation on "eagles blueprint" right here on nbc 10. john clark is your host coming up in just a few minutes. well, the draft always filled with emotion. this was will parks on saturday. he's a germantown high graduate soon to be an arizona graduate and he was drafted in the sixth round by the denver broncos. so he's going to the super bowl champs after hearing his name called. those emotions are awesome. that is your look at sports.
11:29 pm
we'll be right back.
11:30 pm
11:31 pm
11:32 pm
a rainy work week ahead of us? >> at least a start. tomorrow is going to be kind of interesting. a little bit of everything. misty, foggy, isolated drizzle and then peaks of sunshine south and maybe into tuesday. the eagles draft special is coming up next.
11:33 pm
11:34 pm
11:35 pm
the eagles get their man! >> carson wentz! [cheers and applause ] >> one player can change your team. >> bottom line is, if you don't have a franchise quarterback in the nfl, it doesn't matter. the eagles coach now has his quarterback. >> a little bit of brett favre. honestly. >> a whirlwind start to wentz's career and why the eagles felt so compelled to get him and the details of the draft.
